The Salmon Will Run

The Winnemem Wintu tribe believes that when the Creator put us on this Earth we had no voice. Our Salmon relatives saw we needed help and gave us their voice, and in return, they promised to always speak for them. The tribe has an ancient prophecy, “When there are no more salmon, there will be no more Winnemem Wintu people."

Today, climate change, farming, and habitat destruction are pushing the salmon towards extinction. This documentary follows the Winnemem Wintu’s fight to bring the native Salmon back to the rivers of Northern California.
